You could even have it so that the default entry point to an article would be lineage or some other snippet that shows at the top of the tab window when opened. It would require a change but for a database to be able to link to a field within another record is a fairly basic concept.

We've had this discussion before the RW linker works on names. Even in HTML linking is based on names it's just names that are more clear to a computer than to people. A URI means a Uniform Resource Identifier and that just means a unique name for something so the internet can find it when you ask for it.
So to link something you have to give it a name. Once you give it a name why not just give it its own topic/article?
